Energy Depletion Forewarning Function

ENERGY DEPLETION FOREWARNING FUNCTION

The watch has been charged fully at the factory, and the power save function will keep the built-in IC computing the time for up to four years. Normally, therefore, it is not necessary to charge the watch manually by swinging it. If you should find the second hand moving at two-second intervals, however, charge the watch following the procedure in “● How to charge the watch”.

●When the second hand starts moving at two-second intervals instead of the normal one- second intervals, the watch will run down in approximately 12 hours.

●If the second hand starts moving at two-second intervals when the power save function is turned off by swinging the watch, the power reserve may have become depleted to an extremely low level.

In those cases, charge the watch following the procedure below.

●How to charge the watch

1. Swing the watch from side to side approximately 500 times.

* Swing rhythmically at a rate of twice a second.

* If the second hand still moves at two-second intervals after the watch is swung 500 times, swing it further until the second hand moves at one- second intervals.

2. Swing the watch approximately 200 times further to reserve one day of power.

Cal. 5J22 5J32 specifications

The Seiko Caliber 5J22 and 5J32 are remarkable quartz movements that exemplify Seiko's commitment to precision and innovation in the world of horology. These calibers are part of the Seiko family renowned for their reliability, durability, and accuracy, making them ideal for a wide variety of timepieces ranging from sport watches to elegant dress watches.

One of the main features of the Cal. 5J22 and 5J32 is their quartz technology, which provides an exceptional level of accuracy. Unlike mechanical movements that can be affected by gravitational forces and position, these quartz calibers utilize a battery-powered oscillator that vibrates at a consistent frequency. This ensures that the timekeeping remains precise, often deviating only a few seconds per month, a remarkable feat for any watch.

The Cal. 5J22 is especially noted for its simplicity and ease of use. It features a three-hand configuration with hour, minute, and second hands, making it straightforward to read. The movement also incorporates a date function, which adds to its practicality for everyday wear. On the other hand, the Cal. 5J32 offers similar functionality but includes a slightly more advanced mechanism and is often found in watches with additional complications.

Both calibers are designed with robustness in mind. They are built to withstand the rigors of daily life, featuring sturdy construction and materials that resist wear and corrosion. Seiko's engineering prowess ensures that these movements can endure shocks, making them suitable for active lifestyles and outdoor adventures.

Another noteworthy characteristic is the long battery life associated with the Cal. 5J22 and 5J32. Thanks to Seiko's efficient energy consumption technology, these movements typically boast a battery life that can last several years under normal operating conditions. This efficiency means less frequent battery changes, adding to the convenience for the wearer.

In summary, the Seiko Calibers 5J22 and 5J32 stand out for their accuracy, durability, and user-friendly features. With robust quartz technology at their core, these movements encapsulate Seiko's spirit of innovation and commitment to quality. Whether for sports, casual, or formal occasions, watches powered by these calibers are a testament to Seiko's exceptional craftsmanship, making them a popular choice among watch enthusiasts and everyday users alike.
